I just let you know I had a very pleasing experience with Behn's refacing service recently. I sent some of my vintage mouthpieces to him to customize and I'm very happy with the results.
He applied different facings on them from 101 to 108.5 tip opening and wrote down the exact parameters of the facing. This helps me to determinate what kind of tip opening and facing curve is ideal for me. In the other hand this barely helps me, because all of them are fantastic...:) I especially like the oval HS** Selmer with a tip openig 101. That mouthpiece gives me a full, brilliant tone what will help me to be heard at all kinds of orchestral or chamber formation. The articulation is super fast and clean. I can use all of them with number 3 or 3.5 Vandoren blue box and the are all reed friendly.
The mouthpieces are beautiful sounding and finished very nicely and Brad was extremely helpful. I highly recommand his refacing service for those who hadn't tried it. (Disclaimer: I'm just a satisfied customer)

I also sent my Selmer HS** mouthpiece to Behn International mouthpieces and it came back an amazing mouthpiece in every aspect. I highly recommend his expertise in refacing and over the top customer service.

I have been playing my new Brad Behn Signature Bass Mouthpiece for about a month now and now my 1193 sounds like a bass clarinet and not a semi trailer on steroids. (no disrespect intended to semi trailers or steroids)
I know that Brad's mouthpieces cost a heap of cash ...but they are ,and his service is, really good.
I am only a satisfied customer

Brandord Behn was on of my old teachers. I bought one of he Mpc's that he recommended and it has the most wonderful tone and clarity of any MPC I Have ever owned. It's all I play on after 5 yrs ago. He thought about refacing my old Bay proto type, which was amasing to play on, but he decieded that it was to special of a PMC. HIS MPC's a wondful to play on.
